FM> AAMOI why do you get to "start" by reading bytes rather
than setting the
FM> file pointer? 

I can't remember.  It may have been laziness, it may have been
that that support was added after I had already written that
bit (I think this was the case), I can't remember.

FM? Does not C have that capability, or isn't it part of your
FM> "standard"?

It is part of the standard.  It could be done that way.
BFN.  Paul.
